YESSSS! This is probably the series I've been most looking forward to this season. And the first ep definitely had the same vibe as season 1.highlights:1. Sena's hair2. Stella being awesome as usual3. Sena getting spanked (am I a terrible person for watching that multiple times?)4. The library phone scene5. Sena's "grudge" ceremony

tons of imouto moe and the king's game (lol at maria reading the ero lines, and at kodaka when kobato has to change). Wonder if any of the relationships will actually progress at all, the end of the ep is probably a false flag but one can always hope.

is it just me or has Rika's moe factor been increasing with the last few eps. I loved her hairstyle changes in this ep, as well as her reactions. A little sad we didn't get to see more yukimura in female form but still a good ep.

lol, love it, especially the ending. I gotta agree with red-chair kun, reminds me of a guy I knew in high school who owned a hummer (back when they were popular) that his dad bought for him always complained about how he was short on cash because of how much gas it used.

btw, the animation reminded me a lot of a bakemonogatari type style, probably because that series uses random stuff like chairs and signs a lot.

Though Sena's approach to the dumb-blonde archetype is somewhat different [good at everything in school? really?]

Can't wait to see more of the novel stuff animated.

I definitely vote for Kodaka-Meat coupling
